Web-Crunch Weekly - Issue #64

Welcome to another week of Web-Crunch Weekly. I continue a small screencast series on Affinity Designer by touching on symbols within the application. Learn more through the link below and check out the video!

As a bonus this week I’ve begun to publish a NEW series called How to Design and Code a Product Landing Page. I hope you’ll follow along! Find the first video linked below.

I’ve also updated the website to include the new video category so you can see the entire archive at your leisure.

Symbols are a godsend when it comes to creating repeatable elements in Affinity Designer. Gone are the old days of updating countless layer groups in Photoshop. Watch this short video for an overview of how to use symbols in Affinity Designer and why symbols are such a useful feature.

This specific project will involve me taking you from start to finish while designing and coding a responsive product landing page which includes some e-commerce functionality. You get to see my decision-making process along the entire journey. I. hope you are excited as I am!

As an engineering director, my week is filled with meetings: one-on-ones with my direct reports, skip-level one-on-ones with theirs. Meetings to make decisions, meetings to share information, meetings to teambuild. I have meetings to provide mentorship, or feedback on a presentation, or to get coaching.
